Ban clickbait titles

Ban forum post titles like "Fix this" or "An idea", and make it so the title should be descriptive

If the person making the thread wants staff to fix something, and they call their thread ''fix this'' it's not clickbait..

That's not clickbait, that's just being vague or lazy with your titles.

Edit: For reference, here's an example of clickbait, or, a title that flat-out lies to its viewers:

You can't really do clickbait on a Minecraft forum. :P
But regardless, it kind of helps us in a way if it's "fix this" or "an idea" as it helps us with what we're about to click onto, whether it's a big bug or an idea which could benefit the server. So I don't really mind it.

I also "clickbait" (how you call it) a lot, once I made a thread called "Custom messages when buying.." and the thread was about "Custom messages when buying mulitplier points" but if that would've been the title, no one would click it cause the title already tells

Well, what's the problem with it anyways?
Titles like "an idea" or "add this" aren't clickbait, but simply just a title to have members read their thread. They're not misleading members by doing so, unlike clickbait. Also, the title isn't even the most important part. The thread is what matters, so don't bother with the title too much. It's helpful to get a general idea of the thread, but it's not a necessity as you can read the thread to get your information.

...Why?
If someone makes a title like that
1. It is not clickbait
2. Whats so bad about clicking a forum post and noticing that it isnt what the title explains?
I read it anyway but it takes like 5 seconds max to quit depending on your computer/loading time.
No. Clickbait doesn't really hurt anything

I have to agree, it is a lot nicer to know what the suggestion is without needing to open it up.

Most cases I spend so much time opening and replying to suggestions that have a descriptive title that I have no time to look at the ones with vague titles.

Face it, if the person making the thread didn't bother with the title, I doubt that the suggestion would have anything to show for itself.
Put titles in your suggestions, you will get better feedback and won't be skipped.

However I have to disagree with banning those threads, I wouldn't punish someone for a bad title.

If a thread has a click bait title then the chances of me taking that suggestion seriously drop dramatically. If people were being serious with their suggestions they would take the time to make a suitable title.
